Yesterday morning our Principles of Learning teacher came in while we were working with our rats and wanted us to help her solve a problem.
She said that her daughter (age 13 or 14) is in a Home Ec type class and does not like it at all. She has not been doing the homework and has been getting a D in the class. Our teacher doesn't care about that particular class, but doesn't like the grade. She made her daughter give up her phone and said she couldn't get it back until she got at least a C in the class.
Anyhow, now her daughter still isn't handing in homework and she doesn't think she'll be able to pull up her grade. She can't back down, but at the same time she wants her daughter to have the phone for convenience sake.
So, my last piece of advice... choose your battles wisely. When you do pick a battle to fight don't back yourself into a corner like that and then make sure you WIN!
There is nothing more frustrating to a chick (rat, dog, horse, or possibly even a child) than a teacher that isn't consistant!
